Famitsu has released a chart of the weekly hardware sales in Japan for the week of February 19 to February 25 :
Console / Hardware sales
PlayStation 2 - 38,916
Dreamcast - 6,359
PSone - 4,316
Nintendo 64 - 1,467
Game Boy Color - 16,846
NEO-GEO POCKET - 567
WonderSwanColor - 6,644

Yeah. Consoles aren\'t doing to well in Japan. Put PS2 will have the biggest market share in the land of the rising sun (that\'s Japan)
-
You want number one?
-
off season for console buying
Those numbers will rise dramatically in the future
-
sony owns japan
-
Don\'t expect Sony to dominate like in Japan after March. GBA is coming and it already has over 3 million pre-orders in Japan. Expect the number 1 position to change.

Sorry jumpman but handhelds don\'t count when we\'re talking consoles
Handhelds are something completely different, and I would expect GBA to sell hard and fast especially at launch the same as GC and Xbox
-
Well the Japanese seem to think other wise because NEOGEO, WS, and GBC are considered consoles(or hardware). If they\'re in there then GBA should be in there as well, and it will be number 1 for a long time.

Nintendo has projected 24 million worldwide first year!

Well I don;t agree handhelds are childrens toys.. and not hardcore hardware
there 2 very different areas. GBA WS or any other handheld can fight each other for the Handheld crown, but no way do you compare GBA to GC, Xbox DC or PS2. There very uncomparable
-
Ddaryl I agree with that, handhelds are nothing but children\'s toys and should not be considered hardware on any list. If they do want to add this children\'s toy on the list, it would indeed be number 1.
-
IMAO, children don\'t pre-order...and their parents don\'t either...
Look in ConsoleDebating or Off-Topic and try and find the one where someone asks "who is getting GBA". You\'d be surprised to find out who said I will...

I could care less, Handhelds are childrens toys. I have no use for a handheld cause when I leave the house I actually interact with a real enviroment and talk with human beings not NPC\'s.
Hanhelds are for keeping kids quiet in the car while mommy and daddy drive
BUT under 0 circumstances should handheld sales be compared to Console sales.
-
It doesn\'t matter what they are. GBA is getting a great libary of games that will attract the hardcore gamer. Respected PSX2Central members like Ryu and LIC have already said they would buy one.
Again, kids don\'t pre-order. Go tell the 3 million Japanese people who pre-ordered the damn thing that your going to buy a child\'s toy. You\'ll probably end up getting flamed by 2.7 million people who are over the age of 14.
BUT under 0 circumstances should handheld sales be compared to Console sales.
They both play games... what sets them apart ddaryl?

Ok 1st of all I\'m not going to argue with you, nor will I change my atitude about it. Maybe when you are 20+ years old you will understand, or maybe not
2nd of all if you do not know what seperates a handheld from a console then obviously you are clueless.
(Hint: Handhelds use last generation technologies, and don\'t compare power wise to consoles and cost considerably less)
please refrain from replying.
-
Sorry I skipped that class of Japanese economics.
Unless any of us are Japanese, what the hell do we know about it? They\'ve already proven it\'s a different mindset than US so our reasoning means jack squat.
-
OK ddaryl, if you want to believe that handhelds truly are children\'s toy then fine, you can have your own opinion on this. But stop trying to post it as a fact.

Hehe...I love reading twisted opinions...I just wanted to hear your view on that. But here\'s why most company\'s or people include handheld\'s in their sales figures.
Handhelds=smaller gaming hardware
Consoles=bigger gaming hardware
They both sell systems. They both sell games so naturally people tend to combine them in sales charts.
0 circumstances...HA! Please refrain from making comments like those again. :D
-
Jumpman you are a joke.
Under 0 circumstances do Handhelds and Consoles belong on the same chart for many reasons
sorry you can\'t deal with this Jokeman
-
ddaryl,instead of insulting me why don\'t you try debating me? Insulting often means you have no argument left in you. I sure hopes that\'s not the case because your so amusing to argue with!
Under 0 circumstances do Handhelds and Consoles belong on the same chart for many reasons
Tell that to the people who do it(Japanese,Americans,ect). Write a letter to them complaining on how handheld sales shouldn\'t be in with console sales. Did I ever said I disagree with you when you said that the first time? NO. I was merely just stating why the people do so, that\'s all.
Please try and back up your frikin\' answer for once ddaryl. I\'m tired of hearing your opinions . They used to be amusing but now they\'ve just gotten extremely boring.
-
Well then don\'t reply
How the hell can you compare a superior piece of equipment to a handheld
Maybe you should accept the FACT that a handheld bears little resembelence to consoles and should be put in a seperate category
I find it very comical that you get so bent out of shape about a toy the way you do
You think I\'m boring maybe you should read your own tiresome rants
LMAO
-

I told you to stop posting your ****ing opinions and know this comes out... insult some more please, it\'s more amusing to read.
Again, I never said they should or shouldn\'t be compared together. Stop trying to make it sound like I am. I was merely saying why people do it(why does it feel like I\'m repeating myself??). I NEVER GAVE MY OPINION ON THIS.
Handhelds=smaller gaming hardware
Consoles=bigger gaming hardware
(there goes your pathetic 0 argument...AGAIN)
There\'s your answer ddaryl. Like it or not that\'s just the way it is. Don\'t ***** to me about.
I find it very comical that you get so bent out of shape about a toy the way you do
Good for you. I find it comical that you seem to think PS2 will be a lot better than the competitors without knowing what they have planned.
I\'m getting bent? Please, you starting flaming me from out of nowhere. No more magic mushrooms for you.
You think I\'m boring maybe you should read your own tiresome rants
Your a mod, I thought your kind was trying to prevent flame wars? Not cause them.
-
OMG
I can\'t believe how crazy this makes you
This is hillarious
Sorry Jumpman Handhelds belong in there own classification
just like Laptop computers compared to desktop computers
Just like walkmans compared to discmans
Just like Motorcycles compared to cars
just like cars compared to pick-ups
just like Proppeller planes compared to Jets
Just Like Cellular phones compared to regular phones
Just Like NFL compared to the XFL
Whatever jumpman, whatever....
This wouldn\'t have anything to do with your personal infatuation with Nintendo products does it.... I thinks it do
-
My god you truly are an idiot.
Sorry Jumpman Handhelds belong in there own classification
Did I ever say they didn\'t? God you should really try reading posts and using a little commen knowledge BEFORE you reply.
For all the retards out there, I guess I have to post this for the third time to get my point through.
This is why most people put them in the same catagorie:
Handhelds=smaller gaming hardware
Consoles=bigger gaming hardware
*Extra*
They both play video games.
What you THINK doesn\'t mater ddaryl, accept that.
You have done nothing but give your moronic and insane opinion. It doesn\'t change anything.
Why are you laughing? I never gave my opinion on this yet and you mock me. Are you okay? I no longer find you amusing, now your just pittyful and annoying.
I really hate repeating myself ddaryl. Unless you can actually find something new then this argument is dead.
Now don\'t turn around and shove your opinion in my mouth again...
-
LMAO
I laugh cause you get so irritated, and I could care less of you or what you think
Your a joke dude, you can\'t it and you get all bent out of shape
I\'ll say it again
Consoles and Handhelds belong in seperate category\'s when comparing numbers for units sold etc... just like the afore mentioned similiarities
The fact that you have gone on to a whole page rant about this silly little truth actually makes you look pretty funny
LMAO
:laughing:
Take a chill pill Jumpman sit down take a few deep breaths and realize how right I am. You can do it
-
OK I\'ve let this argument gone long enough. It\'s time for me to end it with the straight up facts. Deny them if you want, I don\'t care. Your not fun to play with anymore( yes I was basically playing with you the whole time).
I laugh cause you get so irritated, and I could care less of you or what you think
Good, now you know how I feel when I say stop posting your opinions. I\'m glad we feel the same way about each other.
BTW- get your own comebacks. Has it all come down to you not being able to reply with anything original? If so, then please stop replying. I\'m not the one whose wrong here ddaryl, I\'m not giving my opinions, I\'m just stating the facts.
Your a joke dude, you can\'t it and you get all bent out of shape
LOL? I\'m the joke? Go back to consoledebating and look at the argument we had. Do I need to post some of your biased **** from there? "PS2 is obviously better and will have better games and thats obvious to see". Your the joke ddaryl, all fanboys are.
I\'ll say it again
There is no need to repeat your uneducated and idiotic opinion ddaryl, I\'m sick of hearing it.
Consoles and Handhelds belong in seperate category\'s when comparing numbers for units sold etc... just like the afore mentioned similiarities
THATS WHAT YOU THINK! ITS NOT FACT!
THATS WHAT YOU THINK! ITS NOT FACT!
THATS WHAT YOU THINK! ITS NOT FACT!
THATS WHAT YOU THINK! ITS NOT FACT!
THATS WHAT YOU THINK! ITS NOT FACT!
THATS WHAT YOU THINK! ITS NOT FACT!
THATS WHAT YOU THINK! ITS NOT FACT!
THATS WHAT YOU THINK! ITS NOT FACT!
Do you know what is fact? THEY ARE COMPARED WITH EACH OTHER. (read that 8 times to get the point then shut up)
I hope you get it this time because I don\'t like seeing a once intelligent person gone stupid.
The fact that you have gone on to a whole page rant about this silly little truth actually makes you look pretty funny
You got it completely backwards ddaryl. If I was wrong then I\'d accept it. You on the other hand will never accept it even when the truth is so obvious that a gimp could get it.
Take a chill pill Jumpman sit down take a few deep breaths and realize how right I am. You can do it
:rolleyes:
No ddarly. I never gave my opinion once( read that 20 times to get it), you have given nothing but your opinion. Your getting all worked up because consoles and handhelds are compared to each other(and for a good reason too) , I\'m not. What you think doesn\'t matter ddaryl, and it certainly doesn\'t change anything. I hope you get it this time.
It was fun arguing with you but your just a class a fanboy who can\'t admit when he\'s beat and ignores the facts. Those people are REALLY irratating ddaryl. Honestly, use your brain ddaryl. Your a mod. You can spare yourself more humaliation by deleting this thread. Of course I don\'t want that to happen but it is a very logical move to do. Your down and out and you could run away but yet you continue to make yourself look bad...odd.

silly humans
:rolleyes:

Hey Jumpman
I cannot tell you how much I am loving this !!!!
Your getting bent out of shape, all because of the FACT that Handhelds belong on there own sales chart or should not be compared to Consoles because they represent different classifications
Do you realize that I\'m :laughing: at your foot stomping and breath holding
Snikcer!
-
I cannot tell you how much I am loving this !!!!
How could you possibly love being humiliated by a 14 year old? I have the upper hand ddarla, not you. FACT. :laughing:
Your getting bent out of shape
Not quite. You insult me I insult you. Your getting just as bent out of shape as I am(not really but I\'m starting to feel realy sorry for you now).
all because of the FACT that Handhelds belong on there own sales chart or should not be compared to Consoles because they represent different classifications
No ddarla thats your opinion. If it was fact then handhelds would be in their own catagorie. I\'m surprised you STILL haven\'t realized that.
Do you realize that I\'m at your foot stomping and breath holding
I find this more amusing than you do ddarla, turst me. I find it very amusing that you still haven\'t got it yet and your a mod! I thought they were supposed to be smart...
Snikcer!
Are you trying to make yourself look bad?
You just dug yourself into a pretty big hole with that immature insult boy( I feel like I\'m arguing with a kid now).
The more you laugh, the worst you look...
-
*sigh*
Consoles: PS2, GCN, Xbox
Handhelds: Gameboy, Wonderswan
Gaming hardware: All of the above
PlayStation 2 will still be the number 1 selling console after GBA launch. GBA will be the best selling handheld.
BTW Jumpman, if you really had a reasonable fact to back up your claims then there wouldn\'t be any need for calling people morons, idiots etc. It just makes yourself look bad. And we don\'t really need that language here, so please refrain from using it again.
-
*phew, some heavy stuff going on here*
btw. Ddaryl (not sure if I spelled it right), you sure have changed, what happened to you man?, are you someone else?, back in the early days you used to be a calm reasonable person, but you\'re getting into fights all the time lately, I\'m not saying your wrong (not saying your right for that matter) but you need to chill down and rest,
people are losing respect for you this way.
-
Ddaryl has lost NO respect in my eyes. He\'s still a reasonable man, he just doesn\'t take crap from anyone. I like that. It\'s just that he isn\'t a fanboy and some people don\'t like that.
-
OK THATS IT!!
Famitsu is giving sales of game system sales.Not consoles.
GBA is not a console.PLAIN AND SIMPLE.
Even if GMA has 2billion sales a day it wont affect PS2 sales at all or any other console\'s sales.
Only consoles affect other consoles\' sales.
If someone has a DC most chances are he wont buy a PS2 or any other console and vise versa.
If someone has GBA most chances are he is will buy a console and vise versa.
Its like comparing a TV with a handheld TV.Both used for the same thing but who can live without a normal TV?
I hope this ends Jumpman VS Ddaryl conversation
-
IMO. There is a lack of intelligence curse going around with the mods. I\'ll say these critical points again.
-I never gave my opinion on this so on earth can anyone say I\'m wrong???
-Consoles and handhelds belong are put in the same catagorie. There is a good reason behind that. IT DOESN\'T MATTER IF YOU AGREE OR DISAGREE WITH THIS. Its a fact that won\'t change.
- Your all gimps for not getting this simple concept.
End of discussion.

It\'s merely symptomatic of our post-modern onui. There are no absolutes, when it\'s really your own freedom you detest.

Dear god I hope your not being serious. If you are then please jump off a cliff, life isn\'t meant for the dumb. :laughing:
But seriously, you don\'t get it. Don\'t keep making yourself look bad by replying back.

Jumpdude
Face the fact Jumpman, a handheld is a handheld a console is a console
the sooner you face this the ahppier you will be as a person
right now I see a frustrated person who insists on getting in the last word on the most pathetic of subject debates
Alot of us are enjoying a good chuckle
-
Sorry did i miss something?
why are people argueing over Consoles and handhelds now ?
they are the same thing but only not
The Whole consoles are like a Car and a Plane, both forms of the same thing but one can do what the other can not.
the X box PS2 can deliver HOME gaming
while hand helds provide gaming on the move.
both play games but there is no WAY in hell you can ever compaire Handhelds and consoles
it\'s like comparing Consoles and PC\'s , it\'s totaly pointless and a waste of time and effort.
why don\'t these people just get back to playing the Damn games and stop worrying over semantics (pardon the spelling).
-
Face the fact Jumpman, a handheld is a handheld a console is a console
LOL. Your the master of the obvious I see. :rolleyes:
the sooner you face this the ahppier you will be as a person
I don\'t feel any happier knowing that a console is a console and a handheld is a handheld. You lie.
Let me say this again, please get it this time.
They are put together, and there is a reason behind that. Accept that.
right now I see a frustrated person who insists on getting in the last word on the most pathetic of subject debates
Been looking in the mirrow lately huh? Good.
Alot of us are enjoying a good chuckle
Only you ddarla. I\'m enjoying a good laugh because you can\'t seem the accept the facts. You insist that your opinion is right even though it obivously isn\'t.
You still don\'t understand what I\'m saying...
-
Jumpman, you have serious issues and this thread is proff enough. And I really mean DEEP issues.
So you think handhelds and consoles are the same thing? I know you keep saying \'it\'s not my opinion etc\' but please... Let me hear your opinion. Is it the same thing?
If yes, then would you say pizza and cornflakes are the same thing? Just because you can eat both doesn\'t mean it\'s the same thing and that it should be classified the same.
BTW, your opinion isn\'t a fact. Not more than mine at least. :rolleyes:
-
OKAY, NOW IT\'S BEGINNING TO GET FRUSTRATING, YOU GUYS REALLY HAVE TO STOP, BECAUSE IT ISN\'T FUNNY ANYMORE
I don\'t even think your arguing, your both saying the same thing (I think), ddaryl says: "handhelds aren\'t comparable to consoles." which is true.
jumpman says: "handhelds aren\'t comparable to consoles, but in these charts they\'re doing it, because they are both gaming systems" which is also true.
am I right?, please tell me I am right.[/b]
-
Jumpman
You can\'t honestly be this pathetic to think a handheld belong in the same category of a much more superior product which reached a different demographic
But according to you Jumpman a go kart is the same thing as a Ford Mustang and should be considered when tallying up best selling models. See how easily logical this is
I think you can see how easy that is to understand, I know your young but I do believe you have some smarts.
You compare GBC to GBA, to Wonderswan to Neo Geo or whatever,
You compare DC to PS2 to GC to Xbox to Indrema.
You do not compare GBC/GBA/Wonderswan to GC to Xbox to DC to PS2 simply because its an entirely different demographic, and entirely different in capabilities and overall content.
Just accept the facts Jumpman

ddaryl, your sig is the coolest I\'ve ever seen.
how the hell did you make that one up?

My brother in law said that to me once (Actually he\'s one of my best friends but now he\'s family)
I pissed my pants when he said it too, Its one of the truest statements ever quoted IMO, I\'ve lived the statement
-
LMAO, ddaryl you STILL don\'t get it.
You keep saying they don\'t belong in the same catagorie, I keep saying I don\'t care that\'s you\'re opinion and it\'s neither right or wrong.
Let\'s leave it at that,ok? If not then I\'ll be more than happy to continue.

You bore me Jumpman. You\'re like an old broken record. "Insult... diss... diss... insult... whine... I\'m never wrong... insult"
Get back to me when you grow up or run out of lame excuses and insults.
